16 killed in
Haridwar
stampede
New Delhi: At least 16 people have been reportedly killed and 10 others injured in a stampede on Tuesday at Gayatri Sangh in Haridwar.
According to reports, tens of thousands of
people had gathered for the centenary celebrations of religious Guru Pandit Sriram Sharma.
The centenary celebrations began on Monday
and are on till the November 11.
The stampede broke out when a large number of followers tried to enter the gate of the
Shantikunj Ashram to take part in a 'yagya', reports said.
Security arrangements are largely handled by
Gayatri Pariwar activists, reports said.
The victims were removed from the site to ambulances by volunteers of Gayatri Parivar,
which had organised a five-day event aimed at
propagating Gayatri Mantra -- one of the foremost chants in Hinduism - beginning Sunday.
Some of the injured limped as they tried to
walk. Others were carried on stretchers. Many
others looked frightened after escaping the
trauma.
The celebrations were to go on for five days
from November 7-11.
More than 50 lakh people were expected for
the celebrations. Spiritual guru Pandit Sriram
Sharma, founded the Gayatri Pariwar, was
born in 1911.
Among those set to attend were the chief ministers of Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Rajasthan and
Chhattisgarh, anti-corruption activist Anna
Hazare and the Dalai Lama.
Jaya to attend
hearing
on Nov 22
Bangalore: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa will appear before a Bangalore court
on November 22 in connection with a disproportionate assets case against her. The AIADMK
chief had attended two days of court hearings
in the same court last month.
On October 21, the court had adjourned the
hearing in the case to November 8, as recording of Jayalalithaa's statement on 1,000-odd
questions framed in the case remained inconclusive. The chief minister then filed an appeal
in the Supreme Court asking to be excused from
the hearing.
She said she did not want to inconvenience
the people of Bangalore and sought permission
to answer questions in writing. The top court
turned down her appeal, but said she should be
given a date of her choice.
Jayalalithaa did not appear in court today. Instead, she moved an application seeking postponement of the hearing. Her close aide,
Sasikala, who has also been named in the case,
attended the proceedings.
Jayalalithaa was forced to attend two days of
court hearings in Bangalore last month, after the
Supreme Court over-ruled her concerns about
her security.
Around 1500 policemen, National Security
Guard (NSG) commandos and a convoy of 20
cars escorted the Chief Minister along a 60-km
route from the HAL airport to Bangalore's Central Prison.
The trial court had framed 1,339 questions for
Jayalalithaa. She had replied to 567 questions
on her last appearances before the court on October 20 and 21.
Supreme Court judges have said that the Bangalore court must finish its questioning of the
chief minister at her next appearance.
Zawahiri set up
Osama: Book
Washington: Eager to become the leader of al
Qaeda, the then number two Aymen Zawahiri
set up Osama bin Laden by repeatedly sending
a courier to his hiding place in Abbottabad who
had been interrogated by the CIA, a new book
by a former SEAL has claimed.
"Despite knowing that this operative was
blown, Zawahiri used Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti to
make repeated trips to Bin Laden's compound,"
says the book 'Seal Target Geronimo' written by
a former SEAL, Chuck Pfarrer.
"Based on this accumulation of information,
one can draw conclusion that it was Zawahiri
who led the US to bin Laden's hiding place in
Abbottabad, accomplishing this through a
complex and persistent series of lapses in security," he said.
"Some of these slips were subtle and some of
them were so obvious that they were laughable,"
Pfarrer wrote in his book, which also claims that
Zawahiri even tried to get the Russians kill bin
Laden and he also wrongly diagnosed Bin
Laden. Page 4

HC grants bail in 2nd case, makes strong
observations against lower court order
Bangalore Beat Bureau
Bangalore: Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa got relief at last. After the Karnataka High Court today granted him conditional bail in the PCR 3 case related to alleged illegal land denotification at Agara, allowing him to get out of the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail after 24 days.
Yeddyurappa obtained bail in PCR 2 on
November 3. Advocate Sirajin Basha has filed
five cases of alleged illegal land denotification by Yeddyurappa when he was the chief
minister. Basha had obtained permission
from governor H R Bhardwaj to prosecute the
then chief minister and filed cases before the
Lokayukta special court. The court, taking
prima facie evidence, had ordered judicial
custody for Yeddyurappa and former minister Ess Enn Krishnaiah Shetty, who too got
bail in the case today.
A single-judge high court bench of Justice
B V Pinto ordered both the BJP men to provide bonds of Rs 5 lakh each and to provide
two sureties.
While granting bail, Justice Pinto asked
Basha’s made some strong observations
against the Lokayutka special court. He
said it is against law to consider the evidence
filed in a private complaint and to send the
accused to judicial custody.
In a short hearing, the judge asked Basha’s
they would not tamper with the evidence and
influence the witnesses. He also cautioned
the advocates of the two not indulge in
such activities while being large on bail.
He also asked the two to appear before the
Lokayukta special court whenever summoned.
The judge said that the lower court observation that the accused would tamper with
the evidence was imaginary and not based
on reality. “Denotification in itself is not an
offence. The accused had powers to do that.
But the case need not be argued on that basis at this stage,” the judge said.
The judge observed that in criminal jurisprudence, it is not right to send the accused
to judicial custody based on a private complaint. “It is against the law and it is not a

MJʼs doc guilty of manslaughter
Los Angeles: Michael Jackson's personal doctor was found guilty yesterday of involuntary
manslaughter in the pop star's drug-related
death in 2009 but may not spend much time
in jail.
Dr. Conrad Murray, 58, was led away in
handcuffs after the jury in Los Angeles
reached a unanimous verdict. Dozens of fans
outside the court erupted in cheers and
some burst into tears.
"Justice was served. Michael is with us,"
said Jackson's brother Jermaine.
Murray faces up to four years behind
bars when he is sentenced on November 29
but may spend only months in Los Angeles'
overcrowded cells.
Murray pleaded not guilty to giving the
"Thriller" singer a fatal dose of the powerful
anesthetic propofol — normally used in surgery — that was ruled the main cause of his
death at the age of 50.
Prosecutors argued Murray was
grossly negligent in administering the
propofol to help Jackson sleep. Defense
lawyers claimed Jackson delivered the fatal
dose to himself.
The judge ordered Murray, who had been
free on bail for two years, held in custody until his sentencing. The doctor did not testify
at the six-week trial and looked impassive as
the guilty verdict was announced in the
packed courtroom.
Jackson's mother Katherine and sister
Rebbie cried silently at the result. Other
family members in court included his siblings
La Toya and Randy, along with his father Joe.
"I am," Katherine Jackson said when reporters asked if she was pleased with the verdict.
Jackson was found lifeless at his Los An-
geles mansion on June 25, 2009, about three
weeks before he was due to begin a series of
concerts in London aimed at returning him
to the limelight after the humiliation of his
2005 trial and acquittal on child molestation
allegations.
Murray admitted giving Jackson a small
dose of propofol to help him sleep. But his
lawyers argued the singer was dependent on
the drug and likely gave himself an extra, fatal dose -- and swallowed a handful of sedatives -- without Murray knowing.
Murray's lawyer J. Michael Flanagan was
asked by reporters if he was disappointed and
he replied: "Of course."
Prosecutors said Murray was negligent for
administering the drug in a home setting, failing to monitor Jackson, delaying a call to
emergency services and failing to tell medical personnel he gave the singer propofol.
Kalam skips visit
to Kundapura
nuke plant site
Bangalore Beat Bureau
Kundapura (Chitradurga): Former President A P J Abdul Kalam kept his counsel
on the nuclear power plant coming up
here and spoke to a group of teachers
without broaching the subject.
The villagers too, who have been
protesting against the plant, said they
would not hold any agitation as a respect
to Kalam.
The nuclear power plant is coming up
in the village and the government has already proposed to acquire 9,000 acres of
land for the project, which is being opposed by the villagers.
Earlier, a programme had been scheduled for his visit to the power plant, but
was cancelled on the pretext that Kalam
had four engagements in Bangalore and
would get late for them.
Only on Sunday, Kalam visited the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil
Nadu and had appreciated the safety
measures taken up by the plant. Though
he gave a 10-point solution to resolve the
deadlock between the plant managers and
villagers, he refused to negotiate with the
protesters.
A P J Abdul Kalam
That could be the reason for Kalam
skipping the plant visit here.
He spoke to over 400 teachers and students at the Challakere Science Centre and
was at his best interacting with the students.
Sriramulu: Will
contest by‑poll
Bangalore Beat Bureau
Hyderabad: Former minister B Sriramulu today said he would contest the Bellary
Rural by-election, but did not reveal
whether he would be an independent candidate or would contest from the BJP.
Before meeting his mentor and former
Karnataka minister Gali Janardhana Reddy at Chanchalaguda Central Jail, he
said outside that he would seek the guidance of Reddy before taking his decisions.
There has been an intense speculation
over who would be the BJP candidate from
the seat vacated by Sriramulu last month.
BJP observers had gone to Bellary two
days ago and tried to convince Sriramulu to contest the election from the BJP ticket, or to field anyone close to him and not
be a rebel. But they had to return empty
handed.

everywhere, said music director
Srinath said here.
He was inaugurating a free
karaoke singing training programme, organised by Devajnana
Lalita Kala Academy, here recently.
Many artists veer away from
their profession due to lack of

that the academy has organised
a free training programme to
promote arts among the people,
he added.
Film director Prakash Awaradi
said he would give a chance to
academy students in his forthcoming movie for children.
Actor Vijay Kumar said it was
commendable that Kannada is
being promoted through such
programmes. When the trend is
to charge for everything, it is encouraging that the academy has
been offering a training programme free of cost, he added.
More than 20 students took
part in the training programme.

Going back in time: Upfront
Didnʼt discuss politics with
BSY during my jail visit: KS
Bangalore Beat Bureau
Bangalore: “I only inquired about Yeddyurappa’s health, the facilities and
other personal issues with him when I
met him at the jail yesterday. We did
not discuss any political issue, nor did
we have any fight over the candidate
for the Bellary Rural by-election,” said
BJP state president K S Eshwarappa
here this morning.
Addressing the media at the BJP
office Jagannath Bhava at Malleswram
after the Karnataka High Court granted
bail to former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa allowing him to get out of
prison after his 24-day stay, Eshwarappa
said, “Everyone is happy that Yeddyurappa is getting out. I am sure there
will be celebrations across the state.”
He said, “Yeddyurappa has been our
leader and will remain our leader. He
has seen I and other party workers
grow over the last 30 years. I was happy
after meeting him yesterday, and I am
happier that he is being released today.”
Eshwarappa, who seemed irritated
with the media for its reportage on his
visit to the jail, had a word of advice.
“You should not indulge in such gimmicks. The media should report events
as it is and should not create mischief.
I don’t have any right to control the
media. They have all the right to report
whatever they want. But my only request
S Radhakrishna
is that they do so judiciously.”
To a question whether the BJP would
face the next general elections and
other polls under the leadership of Yeddyurappa, he said, “The BJP central
leadership has said that the state unit
would contest all elections under the
combined leadership. Yeddyurappa too
will be part of that combined leadership.”
He said that Yeddyurappa will fight
the cases legally and come out victorious.
On the Bellary Rural by-election
scheduled for November 30, he said
that the party election committee is
meeting tomorrow and will decide on
the candidate. “I cannot say whether
(former minister) or not B Sriramulu
would be the candidate for the by-election. I am also part of that committee
and we will take the decision tomorrow.”
Major and medium industries minister
Murugesh Nirani, referring to Yeddyurappa’s case, said that people should
not use the legal system for political
gains. A private complaint has caused
immense mental trauma and pain to
Yeddyurappa.
“The former chief minister has been
responsible for taking the state through
the progressive mode. We are sure that
once he gets out of jail, he will work for
the development of the state.”

allowing them to get out of the
Parappana Agrahara Central Jail,
where they have been in judicial
custody for the last 24 days.
Parameshwara said, “We are
sure that he will be punished
when the trial in the cases get
over. He has taken decisions
against law while he was in power.”
Conditional bail to Yeddyurappa is being questioned in the
Supreme Court now. “If BJP
workers are celebrating his re-
lease, it only proves that they
are ignorant of processes of law.
They should know that it is only
a temporary relief and he has to
prove himself innocent in other
cases of alleged illegal land denotification too. If the Supreme
Court passes an order against
the high court ruling then Yeddyurappa has to go back to jail.”
He said that it is not a victory
for law. Victory will be when
Yeddyurappa is punished by the
courts, he opined.

is proof that the god is with us.”

land denotification, allowing
him to get out jail.
Renukacharya, who organised
celebrations in front of Yeddyurappa’s Race Course residence,
said, “Yeddyurappa has been a
tall leader in the state. He is not
in the habit of celebrating anything. For the last 40 years, ever
since he has entered politics, he
has been working for the welfare
of the party, state and people.”
“We are sure that Yeddyurappa
will fight out the cases legally
and come out innocent,” he
added.

Bangalore: Former chief minister
B S Yeddyurappa is a leader,
powerful enough to pull strings
from within the jail. There is a
possibility that he could influence witnesses and tamper with
evidence in legal cases against
him, said JD(S) spokesman Y S
V Datta here today.
“But at the same time, the
Karnataka High Court has taken
a decision and granted bail to
him in a private complaint. We
will respect the ruling of the
court. But at the same time, the
observation that he did not have
any criminal precedent and
would not tamper with evidence
may not be right. There is a feeling among the people that he is
powerful enough to do anything
in this state,” he said.
“Even from the jail, Yeddyurappa was trying to decide who
the Lokayukta should be and
had almost got his wish pushed
through. If he could wield such
influence over the government,
it is sure that he would exhibit
his power in other spheres on
society too,” he said.
“He has only gotten out of jail
through conditional bail. It does
not mean that he has been exonerated. There are many other
cases he hast to face. These cases
contain solid evidence of his
wrongdoing while being in power,” he added.
Advocate Sirajin Basha had
been fighting the case at an individual capacity without any
political affiliations. He will now
be forced to go to the Supreme
Court to question the high court
ruling and granting of bail to
Yeddyurappa, he said.’
The political fallout of the ruling too will be significant. A section within the BJP has declared
that Yeddyurappa is their undisputed leader. Neither L K Advani
nor any other national party representative is bigger than Yeddyurappa for them. Now three
factions, two others led by
Ananth Kumar and Eshwarappa,
would fight among themselves.
The day is not too far when the
differences within the ruling party will spill out, also affecting
the governance in the state. There
has also been speculation that
Yeddyurappa has been demanding the party president’s post,
he added.

4 Hindus
gunned
down in
Pakistan
Islamabad: Four Hindu doctors
have been gunned down in Pakistan's southern Sindh province,
sparking fears and panic among
the minority community.
The doctors were gunned
down yesterday at their clinic in
Chak town close to Shikarpur.
Dr Ramesh Kumar, a former
member of provincial assembly
and chief patron of Pakistan Hindu Council, confirmed that Dr
Ashok, Dr Naresh, Dr Ajeet and
Dr Satia Paul were killed by
armed assailants while working
in their clinic.
"This is not the first time such
an incident has taken place
where members of our community have been targeted. What
is of concern is that the law enforcement agencies tend to support the criminals involved in
such acts," Dr Kumar said.
SC to Agnivesh: Public figures Zawahiri set
must watch what they say up Osama,
New Delhi: The Supreme Court made
strong remarks against social activist
Swami Agnivesh for his reported remarks
on the Amarnath Yatra.
The two judges hearing the case, that
asks for criminal proceedings against
Swami Agnivesh, said, "You cannot take
sentiments of the people for granted."
They also warned that "A person in public
life should weigh words ten times before
he speaks" and added that if the activist
had made the remark attributed to him,
he "cannot go scot free.'
The case will be heard next on Monday.
For thousands of Hindus, this pilgrimage is a revered ritual. They trek to a
shrine of Lord Shiva located at an altitude
of about 13,000 feet in a cave in Jammu
and Kashmir, 140 km from Srinagar. Inside the main Amarnath cave lies an ice
stalagmite worshipped as the Shiva
Linga.

Dhoni was my go‑to
man in team: Chappell
Melbourne: He had a bitter stint
as India's cricket coach but the
one player for whom Greg Chappell has only admiration is current skipper Mahendra Singh
Dhoni as the Australian feels he
broke down a "hierarchical" system in the team by becoming
the voice of young players
Chappell, whose two year stint
from 2005 to 2007 was marred
by several controversies including the infamous public spat
with the then skipper Sourav
Ganguly, recalls how Dhoni rose
in stature in the side.
Writing in his autobiography
'Fierce Focus', Chappell said
such was hierarchy in the team
that youngsters were petrified
of speaking before a senior such
as Sachin Tendulkar in the team
meetings.
"The real ray of hope for Indian
team was Mahendra Singh
Dhoni, one of the most impressive young cricketers I'd ever
worked with. He was smart, and
able to read the game as perceptively as the best leaders,"
Chappell wrote.
"If I wanted to know what
was going on in the middle,
Dhoni became my go to man.
He would eventually breakdown
one of the biggest problems in
the India teams," he added, referring to the young players' reluctance to express themselves.
"...the youngster would say, 'I
can't speak before so-and-so. If
I speak up before a senior player,
they will hold it against me forever.' Some were petrified, flat
out refusing to say a word in a
meeting before, say, Tendulkar
had spoken. It was so hierarchical, it made Australian teams
look like commune," he wrote.
Chappell said he began to separate team meetings into three
groups -- senior, intermediate
and junior -- so that he could
hear their thoughts, which were
later broken down by Dhoni as
he gained in confidence and asserted his leadership.
Dhoni made his Test debut
after Chappell took over as coach.
Recalling his tumultuous
sting with India, Chappell
said at times he had to deal with
mood swings, fluctuating commitment to fitness and senior
players' unwillingness to get out
and mix with the local culture
and enjoy tours.
Chappell also delved on his
stormy relationship with Ganguly.
Speaking about the unhappy
relationship, Chappell said although Ganguly's support was
one reason why he got the job
with the Indian team but it turned
bitter when the then skipper
started expecting him to be his
saviour.
"His idea was probably 'you
scratch my back, I scratch
yours'," Chappell wrote.
"He expected I would be so
grateful to him for getting me
the job that I'd become his henchman in his battle to remain captain. I, on the other hand, took
on a job with the primary responsibility to Indian cricket and
the Indian people.
"There were a billion of them
and only one of Sourav. I wanted
to help India become the best
cricket team in the world," he
said.
"If that means eventually they
could only become that team
without Sourav, then so be it,"
Chappell said, adding that on
field, "there was no bigger panicker than Sourav."
He described Ganguly as a
player "caught with self-doubt
and his own struggle to
survive".
"Sourav had great batting and
leadership talent, but never realised his potential because he
was consumed by what he saw
as the threats around him," he
wrote.
Chappell claimed that when
he was asked to frankly give his
views to the BCCI on the team's
future, he told the Board president Ranbir Singh Mahendra
that "I couldn't see this team
winning the 2007 World Cup,
but regeneration was possible if
it started with Sourav permanently handing the captaincy to
Rahul."
"I thought once Sourav is no
longer in charge, his batting
would improve and his followers
might be brought into line and
made better contributors to the
team," Chappell wrote.
"Sourav was reappointed for
the coming tour of Zimbabwe,
after which he sent me a very
hurt text message asking why I
wasn't backing his captaincy,"
he said.
Chappell said he had no bitterness for Ganguly at that time.
"I did like Sourav," he wrote.
Chappell blamed Ganguly's
attitude problem to the cultural
upbringing, which he said was
common in India.
"I felt strongly that if he gave
up the captaincy, he could find
a way to batting greatness. He
didn't want a coach, or an agent
of change. He wanted a political
ally," Chappell said.
On the team's trip to Zimbabwe, Chappell described how the
Raja‑PC notes
to reach Swamy
New Delhi: A special CBI court
on Tuesday deferred its hearing
on Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy’s plea to make
home minister P Chidambaram
a co-accused in the 2G case.
The court has asked the CBI
to make available to the complainant a file apparently conversation between Chidambaram
and 2G accused former communications minister A Raja.
Special CBI judge O P Saini
adjourned the hearing on the
plea till Dec 3 after Swamy said
that his application seeking a
CBI probe against the minister
is pending before the apex court.
Swamy informed the court
that the CBI should be directed
to produce the file containing
the signature and endorsement
of Chidambaram, a former finance minister, which proves
his complicity in the 2G scam.
"The file contains a conversation between Raja and Chidambaram during the allotment
of spectrum at each and every
stage,” Swamy said.
On Swamy's bail application,
the judge said: “After hearing
the complainant I am satisfied
that a copy for the aforesaid file
would facilitate the prosecution
of the complainant's case.”
Accordingly, CBI is directed
to supply a photocopy of the file
to the complainant at the earliest,
said Saini while adjourning
Swamy's plea to make Chidambaram a co-accused in the
spectrum case.
Swamy had said the court
should bring on record purported
“new facts” that Chidambaram
and former communications
minister Raja had a “role” in deciding 2G spectrum entry fee.
“The fact that the above
named two ministers together
decided that the prices of spectrum and entry fee should be
lumped together at the 2001 level
and decided against the market
price of 2007-08 period for the
entry fee, is confirmed by the
speech of the prime minister in
the Rajya Sabha Feb 24, 2011,”
Swamy had said.
daily results affected the moods
of players and accused Ganguly
of confusing them with constant
changes.
"When I sat down and talked
with him about it, he would
agree to everything I asked, but
then go his own way. Some other
senior players were similarly expert at Gandhian passive resistance: saying 'Yes yes yes' before
doing the exact opposite. Each
time he agreed, then didn't do
it," he wrote.
"In a warm up for the Tests,
against Zimbabwe-A at Mutare,
Sourav went missing for the toss
so I went out to do his duty for
him. I lost. When he learnt what
I'd done, he seemed more vexed
that I'd lost than that the coach
had had to do the captain's job,"
he said.
During the match, Chappell
also accused Ganguly of faking
an injury and walking off after
four overs.
"He was retiring hurt, yet he
appeared to have no injury. I
suggested he go for an MRI scan,
but he declined. I'd seen a lot of
excuses over my years from guys
who didn't want to bat in difficult
conditions, but normally they
were more subtle than this," he
wrote.
"He, in my view, was simply
frightened of a failure before the
test series," he said.
Chappell recalled that when
that when he inquired about
Ganguly's actions from some of
his teammates, they said it had
been going on for some years.
"...joking that he had a miracle
doctor in Kolkata, because his
serious injuries always cleared
up when he went home."
Chappell revealed that during
the 2006 South African series,
Ganguly sent him a text message
saying he felt like his 'son' and
would do anything to come back
into the team.
"As I wasn't a selector, that
wasn't my decision, but it turned
out that a deal had been done
among the panel and he was
picked as the 'all-rounder' for
the Test series against Sri Lanka,"
he wrote.
Chappell said he feared that
Ganguly's reinstatement would
destabilise the new captain Rahul
Dravid and jeopardise the improvement that the team had
made.
"Sure enough, the very complicated ducks and drakes being
played among the politicians
and administrators resulted in
Sourav's reinstatement as a player for our tour to Pakistan," he
wrote.
mu in May, had allegedly said the Amarnath Yatra is " a religious deception." He
said that he "does not understand why
people go for such yatras" and had termed
the "Shivlingam" that forms inside the
Amarnath cave shrine a geographical
phenomenon.
The apex court bench said that at this
stage, there is no need to interfere as investigation is going on but adjourned
the matter when former Solicitor General
Gopal Subramanium, appearing for Agnivesh, pleaded for a week's time to file
an affidavit before it.
Subramanium contended that the
statement was distorted and Agnivesh
had immediately clarified it. It was
not meant to hurt people's sentiments,
he pleaded.
"The statement was made in the context
of arrangements made for the pilgrims.
The intention was certainly not to hurt,"
he said.

where she was declared dead
before admission.
Said an officer attached to the
Gamdevi police station, The
Gamdevi police conducted a
panchnama of the spot.
"Prima facie, it is a case of accidental death. However, it is

accidental fall.
Court rejects
Salemʼs plea,
trial to go on
Mumbai: A TADA court has rejected underworld don Abu
Salem's application to stop the
trial against him in view of the
termination of extradition order
passed by Portugal's Lisbon High
Court in September.
While rejecting Salem's application the court said that there
was no degree of finality in the
termination of extradition order
of the Lisbon High Court as the
Government of India had challenged that order in the Supreme
Court of Portugal.
Ordering that the trial would
continue the court observed that
till the time a finality was reached
it would not be suitable to halt
the trial at this stage.
Salem's lawyers had filed an
application for halting the trial
against him after the Lisbon
court's termination of extradition
order in September for alleged
breach of extradition terms.
Salem had claimed in his application that the trial against
him in the 1993 Mumbai serial
bomb blasts case cannot go on
after the Portuguese court order.
The Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) in reply
to the application had said
that until and unless the
Supreme Court of India or the
government of India pass an order to halt the trial the prosecution can't be halted, as the Lisbon
court has no jurisdiction over
the TADA court.
Salem, a key accused in the
1993 Mumbai serial blasts case,
was extradited to India on November 11, 2005, after a legal
process in Portugal that lasted
for three years.
He has been accused in nine
cases related to extortion, kidnapping and murder and is facing trial in all of them.
says book
Washington: Eager to become
the leader of al Qaeda, the then
number two Aymen Zawahiri set
up Osama bin Laden by repeatedly sending a courier to his hiding place in Abbottabad who
had been interrogated by the
CIA, a new book by a former
SEAL has claimed.
"Despite knowing that this
operative was blown, Zawahiri
used Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti to
make repeated trips to Bin
Laden's compound," says the
book 'Seal Target Geronimo' written by a former SEAL, Chuck
Pfarrer.
"Based on this accumulation
of information, one can draw
conclusion that it was Zawahiri
who led the US to bin Laden's
hiding place in Abbottabad, accomplishing this through a complex and persistent series of lapses in security," he said.
"Some of these slips were subtle and some of them were so
obvious that they were laughable," Pfarrer wrote in his book,
which also claims that Zawahiri
even tried to get the Russians
kill bin Laden and he also wrongly diagnosed Bin Laden.
"Zawahiri tried to get the Russians to kill Bin Laden; they did
not. He hoped that Addison's
disease would take him, but it
did not. Now Zawahiri played is
final card -- he deliberately used
a blown courier to communicate
with Osama,
and the inevitable happened.
The Americans found him," Pfarrer wrote in his 225-page book
published by the New York-based
St Martin's Press.
He said that for 30 years, Zawahiri had been willing to use
violence to bring about his idea
of Islamic government.
Now, the Muslim faithful were
throwing off the chains of dictatorship and calling out not for
sharia law but for democracy,
the book said.
"Zawahiri had worn himself
out trying to get Osama to escalate his attacks against the West.
Repeated plans to smuggle chemical weapons into the US had
come to naught and now Zawahiri had had enough. By late
in 2009, he had determined to
wrest control of al Qaeda from
Bin Laden," the book says.
"Zawahiri had several advantages over his boss. Besides an
innate viciousness, Zawahiri
could speak and read English.
He was an avid consumer of
American news about al Qaeda.
Moving between his own 1stprovided safe houses, Zawahiri
had his messages delivered in
Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti's fantastically painted four wheel-drive
truck. The vehicle and its frequent destination soon attracted
the attention of American intel-
al Zawahiri
ligence," Pfarrer wrote.
"During the Afghan war, Zawahiri had continually urged
Osama forward into combat. As
his personal physician from 1984
to 2003, Zawahiri examined and
treated Osama frequently. Zawahiri was a trained physician
who studied at one of the finest
universities in the Middle East.
Yet he failed to diagnose Osama's
obvious symptoms of back pain,
low blood pressure, and fainting
spells," he said.
"All of these, and a telltale
craving for table salt led to a diagnosis that was obvious, yet
Zawahiri never mentioned it to
Osama and withheld from him
the easy-to-acquire medication
that would have held his disease
in check," the former SEALs
wrote in his latest book.
Referring to the documents
and materials obtained from the
Abbottabad compound, Pfarrer
says that Osama bin Laden, himself did not like Zawahiri and
was planning to exclude him
from the new leadership structure of the terrorist outfit that
he was making.
"SEALs would carry away five
hundred data systems, hard
drives, computers, laptops, monitors, notebooks written in Arabic
and English, papers, financial
records, and wire diagrams of a
new al Qaeda that Osama was
planning one that
did not include Zawahiri,"
Pfarrer said.
"Osama had watched the
news, too. He had considered
now that Egypt had its revolution,
Zawahiri's principal qualification
for being in the ranks of al Qaeda's leadership was gone. Bin
Laden did not want attacks carried out against Egypt, and documents show that Zawahiri was
planning a spectacular bombing
in Tahrir Square," he said.
"Ironically, intel analysts reading through Bin Laden's papers
would discover that Osama was
planning a full break with Zawahiri. That move came too late
to prevent Zawahiri from moving
against him," Pfarrer wrote.

Warne to make T20 comeback
Melbourne: Spin legend Shane Warne
said Tuesday he was still a matchwinner as he announced his return to
cricket, confirming he will play in Australia's new Twenty20 Big Bash League
with the Melbourne Stars.
The 42-year-old had apparently ended
his stellar cricket career at the Indian
Premier League in May, but said recently
he had never felt fitter and speculation
was rife he would return to the Twenty20
format.
In confirming he had signed with
the Melbourne team, the leg spinner
said he still had confidence in the abilities which had made him a superstar.
"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't
think I could be pulling my weight, being able to go out there and change the
course of a game," Warne told reporters.
"It has got nothing to do with money.
If it was something to do with money, I
would be still playing in the IPL."
Warne hasn't played Test cricket
since helping Australia to a 5-0 Ashes
whitewash over England in January
2007 but he led the Rajasthan Royals
in the Indian Premier League (IPL) until
earlier this year.
He said part of his desire to return
was that he wanted his three children
to be able to see him at work and it
was an "added bonus" his fiancee Liz
Hurley would be there too.
"My kids who are 14, 12 and 10 can't
really remember dad playing cricket
that much," he told a press conference
at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
"For my kids and Elizabeth to come
out and see me playing cricket here at
the MCG will be pretty special."
The flamboyant personality has also
undergone a dramatic weight drop in
recent months, shedding about 12 kilo-
grams since dating Hurley, and said
he was confident he could handle the
workload.
"I'm in such good shape at the moment," Warne said. "I wouldn't be going
into this and playing all nine games
hopefully (including a semi-final and
final) without a sense of confidence in
my ability that I can actually go out
there and make a difference."
The leg spinner said he was injuryfree and he did not rule out possibly
extending his contract with the Melbourne side if the 2011-2012 season
went well.
"I'm a young 42 at the moment, so
I'll see how it goes this year," he said.
"This is something fresh, this is something new and we're all learning straight
away. Let's see how it goes this year
and we'll take it from there."
Rated one of five cricketers of the
20th century by Wisden, Warne will
play his first game in the revamped
Twenty20 competition against the Sydney Thunder at the Melbourne Cricket
Ground on December 17.
Cricket Australia has said the former
Test world record-holder's participation
in the domestic Twenty20 league would
be a shot in the arm for the new competition which replaces a state-based
tournament.
Several overseas players have signed
up with the eight franchises that will
contest the BBL, including South Africa's
Herschelle Gibbs, Paul Collingwood of
England, and Pakistan's Shahid Afridi.
